It's been ten months since TV chef Paula Deen saw her career plummet thanks to racial insensitive remarks, plus the admission that she used the N-word.

In her attempt to rebuild her career, she made yet another questionable comment that won't do her any good in her journey back to the televised kitchen.

In a recent issue of " People Magazine ," Deen said she was "fighting to get her name back," and then compared her struggle to that of Missouri defensive end Michael Sam who recently admitted he was gay.

“I feel like ‘embattled’ or ‘disgraced’ will always follow my name. It’s like that black football player who recently came out,” Deen said in a People Magazine cover story, which hits newsstands on Friday. “He said, ‘I just want to be known as a football player. I don’t want to be known as a gay football player.’ I know exactly what he’s saying.”

Not only does she refer to Michael Sam as "that black football player," but she then compares her struggle to rebound from making racially insensitive comments to the struggle Sam faces as he attempts to become the first openly gay player in NFL history.
